The TCM remake special edition is a really good release, people are kind of polarized by the movie though.

The original TCM isn't bad.

The Dawn of the Dead 3 discer.

Alien quadrilogy set... borderline horror there.

Suspiria has a good release.

Elm St. box set.

Silence of the Lambs criterion collection... I don't consider it horror and it's out of print, but it is good.

Isn't Dawn of the Dead a four disc set, and not just three? Here are some others that haven't been mentioned yet that are great:

 

-The Monster Legacy Collection Gift Set (As well as the other three MLC collections.)

 

-Freaks

 

-Phantasm: Special Edition

 

-Ginger Snaps: Collector's Edition

 

-Dog Soldiers

 

-Carrie: Special Edition

 

-The Evil Dead: The Book of the Dead Limited Edition

 

-Cabin Fever (This is one hell of a DVD as long as you even remotely enjoyed the film. You have five audio commentaries, three shorts, a "family" version and a "chick" version of the film.)

 

-Freddy Vs. Jason: New Line Platinum Series (This one is very underrated in my eyes, and the special features are very interesting.)

 

-Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan

 

-Jason Goes to Hell (A great commentary track is on this one.)

 

-Halloween: 25th Anniversary Edition

 

-Night of the Living Dead: Millennium Edition

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre has a great commentary and I'm a sucker for those, so it's high on my list. I agree with IDRM on the remake's release too, the movie gets worse everytime it's viewed, but ithe double disc special edition has a lot of fun stuff on it.

 

Any of the Romero trilogy is excellent obviously. Check out the Dawn Of The Dead remake unrated one as well, good commentary track with a nice set of extras( I loved the news broadcast in particular).

 

Bubba Ho-Tep's not exactly horror, but great release for that one too.

 

Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and the Army Of Darkness DVDs all have a pretty substantial amount of extra features and all of the commentaries are a riot.

 

And finally, From Dusk Till Dawn's 2 disc special edition set.

yeah From Dusk till Dawn has the Full Tilt Boggie documentarie wich is pretty fun, i love the intro with Quentin and the Pulp Fiction fan:

 

"Mr. Tarantino i'm your biggest fan, i quit law-school because of you!"

QT: "fuck off!"

 

I would like to add the NOTLD remake, my favorite remake ever, and has a nice documentary and commentary by Savini.

I don't know if I could defend Zombie as a "good movie" with a straight face, but it's entertaining as hell for horror fans and definitely worth having, if only for the zombie-vs.-shark fight scene.

Yeah, I recommend any DVD with Tarantino, Bruce Campbell or Savini commentaries, both guys have a lot of knowledge and excitement about whatever they're talking about and I like hearing that sort of thing personally.

I think his reasoning was having seen it way too many times at that point to wanna see it again. That's what he's always said in interviews anyways.

I cant sing the praises of the Friday the 13th and Nightmare boxsets enough. These are easily the most viewed movies I have. Though it was panned by critics, I recommend Event Horizon if you have a good surround sound system. That movie is pretty damn creepy, and the "Visions of Hell" sequence is really fucked up.

I have both the Nightmare and 13th sets. Only about half of either series is any good, but for the sake of horror I think you have to have them.

 

Plus Nightmare is only $70 at Walmart, that's about $30 cheaper than Best Buy has it.

The current releases are special editions. Both are 2-disc sets and they're pretty good. Both are also relatively cheap now. Reservoir Dogs can easily be found for $10 or less, while Jackie Brown can be found for $15 or less.
